how about we do that thing where you give me a show/movie/fandom and I’ll tell you:
my favorite female character
my favorite male character
my favorite book/season/etc
my favorite episode (if its a tv show)
my favorite cast member
my favorite ship
a character I’d die defending
a character I just can’t sympathize with
a character I grew to love
my anti otp
and, knowing me, I’ll probably explain why
I DIDN’T LEARN ABOUT THIS IN DRIVING SCHOOL
Stop says the red light, go says the green
Wait says the yellow light, twinkling in between.Â

I’ve only seen this legendary post in screenshots
no more emails — if you really need to contact me you can head down to the the ancient willow tree next to the creek at 3am, under the next full moon and summon me with offerings of garlic bread, a shiny rock and, a tattered copy of your favourite book
to reach me, go into an aspen grove on a clear, starry night when rain has recently blessed the ground and summon me with sour patch watermelons, a leather bracelet, and a haunting rendition of your favorite song
The plot thickens with whispers in the darkness...
Of Chalices and Chickens, the sixth chapter of Dumbledore's Army and the Ambrosius Chalice, has now been added on Wattpad. Find it HERE!
¤▪︎¤▪︎¤▪︎¤▪︎¤
The Ambrosius Chalice is the first installment of a seven-part series known as Dumbledore's Army Reborn. Unlike most "fanfiction"-type works, this story follows an entirely new set of characters, with the canon characters playing supporting roles in that journey. It fills in the space between the Deathly Hallows and the Cursed Child, answering many questions fans have had such as, "Where did the new time turner come from?" and, "Who gave the prophecy about the Augurey?"
Utmost attention has been paid to every detail so that this series can fit alongside anything that can be considered canon, including the original Harry Potter series, the Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, and writings posted by Rowling on the Pottermore and Wizarding World websites. In other words, it is a continuation of the wonderful world-building started by Rowling herself that can go hand-in-hand with previously-made additions.
If you like what shows up on this blog, you'll love Selwyn's newest story entitled Dumbledore's Army and the Ambrosius Chalice.
"Learning magic is difficult enough without having to worry about preventing another Wizarding War. All Seth has ever wanted is to go to Hogwarts, make friends, and rise to the top of his class. But when he and his best friend Jordyn overhear a whispered conversation about the return of Lord Voldemort, all ability to focus on his studies goes out the window faster than a Peruvian Vipertooth.
"The Dark Forces have barely survived since You-Know-Who was defeated, but now they are stirring once again. Someone at Hogwarts is on the hunt for an artefact hidden within the castle that is rumoured to have the power to resurrect the Dark Lord. Not knowing who they can trust, it's up to a small band of students to prevent the Ambrosius Chalice from falling into the wrong hands. But with mysterious clues, dodgy teachers, and bothersome classmates, will they be able to find it in time?"

While out on my adventures the other day, I stopped at the farmers market to get some of their exceptional peach cider and a group of four college age girls all got out of an SUV, dressed somewhat identically (white face mask, gray or white top, dark bottoms, uggs) and headed up to the barn.
One of them shouted 'PUMPKIN' and pointed to one of the 90lb pumpkins they had out front and all of them ran to see it up close, taking turns with their phones to get a selfie each.
They were absolutely overjoyed to see pumpkins, turning every squash they could find over and over and taking pictures of it. They must have taken a hundred photos total.
It is entirely possible that this was their first time visiting a farm.
So I got my gallon of cider, some honey, and some fudge and those girls were in the line, each with a pumpkin held about belly height like they were six months pregnant with it.
Well... sort of.
Three of them were in line like that and the fourth of them ran up with a package of fudge. "Ladies look! Pumpkin Spice Fudge!"
"Oh my god where??"
So two of them went back to the fudge and got more fudge, got back in line.
Then another one went missing and came back with a bag. "Oh my god! Pumpkin Spice Popcorn???"
"I didnt think you could DO that!!"
"Where???
"Girls, we need a cart!"
This happened ad hominem until I think they had every single pumpkin spice item in the barn: soap, candles, taffy, cakes, breads, mixes... it filled a cart and was easily $300 worth of pumpkin spice stuff plus their pumpkins and they were so excited to have it all. It was treasure. It was a bounty. They had hunted well and their stores would be stocked for the winter.
And on the one hand I'm rolling my eyes because pumpkin spice is just... cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. But on the other hand.. they were so excited.
Like they were so excited to see pumpkins in a place that grows pumpkins and not at a grocery store and I suppose the takeaway is:
May you find unequaled joy in something as simple as a pumpkin in a place where pumpkins grow.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing people get excited about the things they love — especially if they're the simple things.

I always love when we have GA’s talk about their conversion to the gospel, whether it was how they found their own testimony while being raised in the church, or how they found it later in life. It’s really comforting to be reminded that we’re kind of all converts. We all need to find our own testimony, and sometimes it’s a journey. Faith doesn’t come easily to everyone, and that’s okay, so long as we keep trying, keep searching.

I love Elder Ballard not only addressing every member globally, but every religion. Exercise your faith, regardless of who or what you believe in. Way to “let them worship how, where, and what they may.”Â
@im-mormon-and-not-straight​ #yees!!!#we need more recognition of other faiths and that faith can really help people no matter what they believe in#ldsconf
So my older sister and I have actually talked a lot about this; we both fully believe that Heavenly Father accepts all prayers, regardless of who they’re to. Because every religion has some grain of truth to it, right? So why wouldn’t every deity have a fragment of Him in there as well? Plus, Heavenly Father isn’t gonna say “Sorry, babe. That’s a good prayer and all, but you addressed it to Buddha, so…return to sender.” No. Absolutely not. If you’re praying for something good, or even sending out a petition to the universe for help, He’ll answer you.Â
Okay here’s what I’m understanding from elder soarez: rather than intrusive thoughts coming from our own impure souls, they come from satan. As we turn toward Christ, we become more resilient against them.
Is that what y’all are getting?
If this is the case, that’s a huge relief. Those thoughts aren’t mine, they don’t make me evil, and there’s a way to fight against them.
This is 100% true
“The Savior taught us to not limit who we pray for…sincerely praying for those who may be considered our enemies demonstrates our belief that God can change our heart and the hearts of others.”

“No matter how you pray, or to whom you pray, please exercise your faith.”

Seriously, no one knows how to make me feel like things are gonna be okay like President Nelson does.

I feel like Elder Jackson had a point about being united under gospel culture, but like . . . the culture of the church is still very Western. It comes through in things like our dress and appearance standards and our hymnbook, which are largely standardized across the world. Historically, missionaries have been the first wave of colonialism in many countries. It feels misleading to say that gospel culture comes straight from God and is not influenced by the culture of the people who practice it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's why I like to differentiate between "Gospel culture" and "Church culture".
Gospel culture is what he was talking about: trying to be like Jesus, loving God, praying in meetings and before meals and anytime you can because Jesus said to, standing up for the marginalized and the outcasts, following His prophets, defending the right and choosing godliness over the natural man, etc.
Church culture, on the other hand, is things (both good and bad) that often come in the Church, but are not doctrinal things and will not necessarily stay with us through the Millennium and Celestial Kingdom (at least the bad ones): suits and dresses and ties and skirts, you have to be wearing a white shirt to bless or pass the sacrament, green jello, funeral potatoes, having a great focus on music, saying "love the sinner hate the sin" but skipping out on the actual love part, not talking about Heavenly Mother, etc.
